    Bellissimo was the perfect NYE dinner! We weren’t tracking that it was a set 3 course dinner for the holiday so we were a bit taken aback by the price initially but the food and ambiance were lovely and romantic! Just what we were looking for on NYE. And they brought everyone a complimentary champagne toast after dessert! Definitely recommend for a special occasion meal!

    Always a great New Year's Eve dinner at Bellissimo! Vitello Napoli for me was superb, as was veal chop for my better half. Service a bit slow but they appeared to be understaffed and we were not in a hurry. We will be back to greet 2026, if not sooner!

    Thanks for being open on the holiday! That being said, the service was very slow and confusing. We were not assigned a waiter and it was hard to get their attention. It was a fixed menu for that holiday, which wasn’t advertised. The food was decent but dishes ran out and it wasn’t as expected. Plus, the cost was high.

    We wanted to dine out on Christmas Eve this year and decided to check out Bellissimo in Old Town Fairfax. It was the perfect spot! Parking was easy, the menu had a nice variety to choose from, the waiter (the owner's son) was cordial and eager to please. The butternut squash soup was smooth and creamy, the seafood pasta was luscious, and the cannelloni a perfect ending. We will be back!

    Outstanding food in this small, locally-owned restaurant. Lobster ravioli special was out of this world. They take great care in each dish. Perfect place for a birthday dinner. Look forward to coming back again soon!
